Call before you serve notice
We offer a free service for any landlords to prevent a section 21 or section 8 notice being issued.
We understand the stress and costs involved in evictions, and we are committed to preventing homelessness at the earliest possible stage. We strongly encourage landlords to contact us as soon as issues arise, so we can work with both parties to find a solution before it is too late.
How we can help you
We offer support to both landlords and tenants in resolving issues early to avoid eviction. Our services include help with:
- Rent arrears
- Mediation between landlords and tenants
- Housing advice and support
- Communication difficulties
What we can provide for you
- Access to support services
- Financial assessments to understand individual circumstances
- Personal Housing Plans tailored to each case
- Help with rent arrears through benefit services or housing grants (where eligible)
- Signposting to specialist services and local charities, where additional needs are identified
- Mediation to improve communication and resolve disputes
